Childcare during School Holidays
It can be especially challenging for staff and students to organise childcare during school holidays.
Therefore, in cooperation with other institutions, the University of Kassel, offers a variety of options for holiday childcare. You can find current information on this page.
Vacation games at the Lernhof for children aged 6-12 years
The holiday games took place during the summer and autumn holidays in 2025.
Follow-up dates will be announced shortly.

FerienKinderUni: "Happiness research workshop" (fall vacations)
@Greenhouse for tropical crops
- Date: 06.10.2025 - 10.10.2025
- Time: 09:14 - 13:16
What does happiness mean to you? The children explore what makes them happy - chocolate, playing with friends, a walk in the forest or a new toy? They get to know countries that set happiness as a goal for everyone, try out what plants, people around the world or children's rights have to do with it and create their own personal "land of happiness".
